Wizard Skill Cards

[torilen]

I kind of understand the reasoning behind it, but is the loss of Mind Points a bit harsh?
Do you allow these to heal normally? Or do they have to use potions and spells?

One reason I ask - I don't remember the other skill cards using up Mind Points.

Otherwise, I LOVE these. Polymorph is excellent, as is Astral Projection.
I really like tarot cards, too. Great ideas, man.

I've given this some thought and removed the Mind point deduction rules for skills in my system. Most times the Wizard only gets to use the card once, so a once per quest rule is preferred.

Thanks for your feedback, torilen!

Maybe once per Quest (a good idea) is free. After that houserule spending a Mind Point to use the skill again. Haven't yet checked your other skills, but perhaps something similar could be done with them using Body Points. A softer approach is to allow a die roll to conserve the Mind Point or Body Point as it is spent. Of course, KISS dictates once per Quest is wise approach, as well.

yep. Going with KISS. My revised rules started out as a 22 page word document, but now I've got it down to just 4, and these cards. Planning on trimming more fat before I get them all custom printed!
